EVANSVILLE'S SENSATION.
Two Pretty Young Girls Decoyed
From Home by Actors.

Evansville, Ind, May 17.-Last Satur
day afternoon two young, handsome anC
well-dressed girls were noticed promenad
ing up and down the streets Of the city
accompanied by q couple Of actors belong
ing TO the WILDER Comedy Company,
which closed an engagement here last night
Their actions attracted considerable At
tention and suspicion was at once aroused
that all was not right, and, as the seque
plainly shows, this was correct At
o'clock Saturday night the Chief of Police
received telegram from the authorities al
Vinoennes TO arrest two young girls NAMED
Sachs and Massey, who proved to be the
above couple, They were found register
ed at Haynie's Hotel, and traced
to the thester, having shrewdIy
adopted assumed names, and as being
from Washington, Ind. They were taken
into custody after the performance. They
were detained all night at the Mayor:
Office and sent home yesterday morning.
They state that they were decoyed from
home BY representations of the two actors
Wall and Egan, and that Egan went to
Vincennes last Wednesday and took din
ner with the family of Miss Ssches. He
tnen arranged 10 DrinS tue Biris 70 this
city Friday evening. They were met by the
actors and remained together all of Fri
day night.
Great indignation has been created by
the occurrence, as the girls belong to high.
ly respectable families, and neither one Is
over is years of age. 1t is possible
that the two young Lotharios of the Will
Der Company may yet find themselves in
serious trouble, through the action of the
indignant parents Of the girls. They
have left for Terre Hsute.

lCoMNU NICATRD.

CHARLOTTE HALL, Oct Il, 1887
Wessrs Edit0rs There is charge in cir.
culation against our present Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners in appointing Charles
countians 10 fill the places of Road Super
yisors, especially in this district. Now,
sirs, as | want the people of st. Mary's
county 10 know how this was brought about
/ will beg small space in your columns
for explanation. There is but one Charles
countian who has anything to do with the
rnads in this district to my knowledge, and
that is Mr. Il. II. Carrico, and the Board OF
County Commissioners appointed me Su-
pervisor to mend the road that Mr.. CARR
CO mended, and as had other work that
was pressing me at the time and had to be
done, could not spare the time 10 work
on thu: roads, and as the road was utterly
impossible. il had 30 be fixed 10y some one.
Mr.. ]. III Hancock, the Commissioner from
this district, called on me several times to
fix the road, and | knowing how eniangled
was with my work, told Mr.. II. | could
not possibly spare the time 10 work on roads.
His reply was, that il had to be fixed by
some one and suggested Mr.. Carrico, be-
lieying he would take as much or more in
terest in the said road than anybody else,
a it leads TO his mill. told him he could
not pick better man, and Mr. II. told Mr..
CarricO to go ahead and mend the r1ad,
which he did TO the satisfaction of all. /
will say he put it in better condition than
it it has ever been since the road has been
on the county. Now, sirs, admitting that
Mr.. Carrico lives in Charles county, he
owns property in this county aud pays a
good tax here, more will venture TO say
than those who are grumbling about this
mendng little pierre Of road. under
stand this charge is brought MS a little po-
iiiical gain for the candidates on the repub-
lican ticket, and if this be so and il Is the
only charge they can bring against our
present Board of County Commissioners and
will Use it when they visit our district,
| think it will help our ticket wonderfully.
So let them come
have given here the facts in this matter
and will say. that am very much obliged
to Mr.. Hancock for getting Mr.. Carrico to
fix the road and also TO Mr.. c. for doingit.
and any sensible man will bear with me
likewise.
Yours respectfully,
FERD T. BURCH.
